You mean do they have a short lifespan? Flash memory can only withstand a limited number of write cycles, but that number is high enough that you pretty much never have to worry about it, unless you're actually trying to kill it.

I think some hardcore file sharers have said their drives have died in a relatively short time.
Of course, since none of us have any sympathy for them they tend to not complain about it any more.

If those hardcore file sharers were dumb enough to be writing their downloads to a small ssd and not a larger hard drive that's their own fault for being noobs

OMG For gaming only 4GB would do just fine and not thash the hard disk.

8GB is for people doing video editing or running a DAW like me. or major multitasking.

16GB you will never use it,, youll only use max maybe 5GB of your ram,, its a waiste...

Your fine with 4GB and wont see difference with 8GB... thx gl
